ErgoSoft Americas is proud to support a non profit organization here in the United States called Fresh Artists. Fresh Artists was founded in 2008 out of the necessity to keep art alive in underfunded public schools. They do this by engaging the children who donate the use of their art for large-scale installations in unexpected places such as in the board rooms of Fortune 100 companies. These companies then donate funds to support the purchase of art supplies and to generate innovative art programming in public schools.

Even with all the Improvements to tools, workflow and ColorManagement that the ErgoSoft RIP 15 provides, consistency in output is important for many users. While we are confident that the new default settings of Version 15 provide improvements in many areas, ErgoSoft understands that matching colors of older production jobs and ensuring consistent colors can be an important part of daily printing business.

To help users transition from Version 14 to ErgoSoft RIP Version 15 we have created a video on how to adapt your Version 15 settings to more closely match the default configuration of Version 14 and ensure consistent color output when upgrading to our newest RIP.

In this video introduction you’ll learn how to use ColorCombine to colorize patterns from separated TIFF files, and then use ErgoSoft RIPs powerful tools like Step & Repeat and Image Masking to seamlessly repeat the pattern and cut out dress shapes.
